CARSON CITY, NEVADA (KLAS) — Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak announced he will hold a press conference on Tuesday, May 26 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the next phase in Nevada’s reopening plan, as outlined in Nevada United: Roadmap to Recovery.

Gaming properties are required to submit reopening plans to the Board for approval seven days before reopening.

Pending the evaluation of trends in Nevada’s COVID-19 data, along with the results of the Gaming Control Board meeting on Tuesday, the Governor has set a target date ofJune 4, for reopening Nevada’s gaming industry.

The Board states it is firmly aware of its statutory duty to protect the public health and welfare of the Silver State’s citizenry while allowing the gaming industry to flourish through strict regulation.
